Wedding Week!

I can't believe I'm getting married on Saturday!!!  AHHHH!!!!  It's crazy to think that it's almost here.  This week has been crazy.  There has been so much going on, even without the wedding!

My wedding week began on Sunday [Mother's Day] by celebrating my mom with a nice big breakfast and dinner with my soon-to-be mother-in-law, doubling as an early birthday dinner for Byron!  [Eating good food is always a nice way to celebrate anything.]  My Mom sweet Bridget even gave me a Mother's Day card!!  I could not ask for a more wonderful mom.  She's beautiful inside and out, more selfless than I will ever be, loves with her whole heart, understanding, supportive, and the perfect example of what God created mothers to be.  I hope one day I can be half the mother she's been to my brothers and me.

I have the best Mom in the world.

Her children arise and call her blessed; 

her husband also, and he praises her: 

"Many women do noble things, 

but you surpass them all."

Proverbs 31: 28-29

On Monday my mom and I went and got massages!  Neither of us had ever gotten a massage before; we loved it.  My mom isn't working this week, so she's running around like with a notebook of to-do's to get everything ready for the wedding.  I'd be a mess without her and words cannot express my gratitude for her help with everything.  She'll need another massage before the week's over.

Tuesday was a somewhat relaxing day.  While at school I was also informed that a few of my students EXCEEDED on the Math portion of the CRCT!  Whoop!  I could not be more excited and proud of their hard work.

After school on Wednesday, the teachers at my school threw a wedding shower for me.  I am so thankful and truly blessed to work with such generous and thoughtful teachers and staff.  This year has been wonderful and I am so glad I've been able to be part of a school as great as Knight.   My mom, Byron's mom, and Leanne [she'll become my sister-in-law on Saturday!] got our nails done after the shower . . . I never pamper myself so much in one week -- it's kind of exhausting!

Today is the day of catch-up.  We're working on everything that hasn't been accomplished yet.  And packing.  Oh, the packing!  I've made my decisions on what I''ll be taking with me [based on Byron's packing list for me] so I'm throwing it in the suitcase tonight!

The rehearsal dinner is tomorrow and I'll be spending the evening with my girls, before waking on Saturday to get married!!  I can't believe the day is finally almost here!
